Creamy Garlic Butter Parmesan Chicken Recipe: A Delicious Gluten-Free Dinner Idea
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Breading:
- 4 tbsp Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 OR almond flour (60 mL)
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (30 mL)
- 1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)
- Garlic Butter Parmesan Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter (30 mL)
- 3 tbsp crushed garlic (45 mL)
- 1 1/4 cups chicken stock (300 mL)
- 1 cup whipping cream (250 mL)
- 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (60 mL)
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (30 mL)
- 1/2 tsp dried cilantro OR dried parsley (2 mL)
- 2 tsp chopped fresh cilantro OR parsley (10 mL)
Preparation:
Start by slicing the chicken breasts in half longitudinally. In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free bake mix (or almond flour), Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Coat both sides of the chicken cutlets with this mixture using a spoon.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook on both sides, turning frequently, until golden brown and almost cooked through.
For the Garlic Butter Parmesan Sauce, melt butter in another frying pan over medium-low heat. Stir-fry the garlic until it turns golden. Add the chicken stock, whipping cream, Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and dried cilantro (or parsley). Cook until the cheeses melt and blend well.
Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Avoid overcooking. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro (or parsley) and serve immediately.
Enjoy this creamy, flavorful, and gluten-free chicken dish that’s perfect for any dinner occasion!
